Beto Never Got to Even 10-Percent

I will make three observations about Robert Francis O'Rourke (Beto):

1.  This guy went from the El Paso city council job in 2011....to the House of Representatives job in 2013, and felt he was ready for the big time in 2018 as a US Senator (failed attempt), and in 2019....ready to be President (failed attempt).  Current age?  47.  I think he should have reserved his situation and ran for governor in Texas (2022) before he ever got the idea of running for Senator or President. 

2.  The anti-gun position?  Among southern voters....it was a no-win situation.  Even southern Democrats didn't like his position that much.  His base of voters....whether he ever realized it....were southerners. 

3.  You have to wonder....if he'd run in 2016's Presidential primary against Hillary and Bernie.....would he have have taken 30-percent of the primary vote, and made the Convention into a more interesting situation?
